Know your grade before you submit.
A quick visual guide so submissions match reality — fewer surprises, faster valuations.
Sealed Collectibles.
Factory seals intact, no shelf wear, sharp corners, original wrap. Top-tier value.
Sealed with minor shelf wear or small dings. Box remains presentable from the front.
Sealed but with creases, dents, water marks, or torn corners. Disclose all damage.
Opened Collectibles.
All parts, manuals, minifigures, and original box. Built or unbuilt — note clearly.
All parts and accessories present, box missing or replaced. Still strong demand.
Missing parts, minifigs, or accessories. List exactly what's missing — we may still accept.
Price Factors for LEGO Sets.
LEGO valuation goes far beyond "sealed or opened". These are the eight factors our collector team weighs when pricing your set — ranked roughly by impact.
Factory-sealed sets command the strongest premium, especially for retired themes.
Retired sets appreciate fastest. Time since EOL and rarity in market drive pricing.
Even sealed sets lose value with shelf wear. Corners, creases, and dents all graded.
Exclusive or rare minifigs can represent 30–60% of total set value on their own.
For opened sets we verify against the official inventory — missing parts deduct sharply.
Original instruction booklets, stickers (unapplied), and inserts matter for collectors.
UCS Star Wars, Modular Buildings, Technic flagships outperform generic themes.
Smoke-free, climate-controlled storage history reassures buyers and protects value.
Cards & Graded Slabs.
Slab grade and population data drive value. Bring serial number.
Centering, edges, corners, surface — our grader pre-screens for slabbing potential.
Factory weight, shrink wrap integrity, and tab condition all checked.
Box & Packaging Standards.
Score 9–10: pristine box. Score 5–7: shelf wear acceptable. Below 5: cosmetic damage disclosed.
Vacuum-formed inserts intact, no cracks. Original instructions and stickers a plus.
Stands, light kits, certificates, COA cards — all photographed individually.
Photograph what's real.
Honest photos of every flaw lead to faster acceptance and better trust. Our team values transparency above all.
